I should say that, with reference to the NetBSD changes I mentioned
earlier, and John Baldwin's comments about having a GPLv3 toolchain
option in our own tree, that despite NetBSD's cautious policy
statement regarding GPLv3-licensed software in their base system, and
their requirement that such software should be optional, it appears
that use of such software is now their _default_ since Nov. 2009:
